I'm from the Detroit area originally, but now I live in Howell. I workout at home. I have a 16 month old baby, so getting out to go to the gym or getting outside (I'm not much of a runner, so I already lack incentive for that) is too much of a deterrent. I did Turbo Jam and am now certified to teach Turbo Kick, so once my class gets rolling that will be my "get out" exercise.0

Sterling Heights--Thanks to the mild winter this past year, I ran outside all winter long. About once a week or every other week, but still got out there. I even ran a 5K in December :-) I have an elliptical in my basement and lots of workout DVDs. That's what I do through the winter.0

I love that Traverse City has the TART trail and other recreation places but its hard when I'm working at a desk all day to get to them. I work a block from what is called the Civic Center and they have a mile track that goes around and its beautiful to walk
but gets crowded on the lunch hour. And I HATE sweating at my desk for the rest of the afternoon. I have short hair so I can't just throw it up either. Ack! LOL
I am going to take my girls out as much as I can this summer. My 7 year old loves to ride her bike. Our subdivision where we just bought our house is great for that. . . .but people drive so fast. I am seriously going to put a sign in my yard that says: Speed limit 25; if you hit my kid you wont need a lawyer! Ironically, I work for a lawfirm.
I tried on new jeans last night because my current ones kept falling off . . . I dropped down 2 pant sizes in 7 weeks doing P90X. I feel awesome and am hoping the weight numbers start dropping soon.
Cathy . . . do you go to the track in Kalkaska?0 -

Sidenote: Flint and Detroit scare the crap outta me LOL

Great job! I'm in Howell & lived in MI all my life. If you have access to an indoor pool in the winter that is a fantastic day for calorie burn and fun with your 7 yr old. Good luck as you keep going! :happy:0 -
The Kaliseum in Kalkaska has an indoor pool but I'm not sure on the times they have it open for public use.
I am gonna check into that in the fall.0 -

I had to laugh at this one. Originally from Royal Oak, moved to Lapeer, moved south in high school and now live in Memphis. It's easier to exercise in the winters down here but brutal for outside activities from late June through mid-September.0 -

Just outside Bay City. I just recently because an exercise person, so I can't really speak for being motivated in the winter. Hopefully I'll have an exercise habit by then and I'll get creative to find ways! There are some really nice walking trails around here that I hope to enjoy thoroughly this summer/fall.0

The last few days have been really hot. I am contemplating moving to Canada! LOL I love the snow and winter and the cold.
So I will never live in Florida. Doing my workout in the morning in my living room with AC is nice. Its hard when the 1 year old gets up though. LOL0 -
Kalamazoo, MI here, just starting my workouts and eatting right. but this winter I plan on doing 30 day shred or insanity( if im ready for it lol)
Love michigan winters, I like how its not always the same every year. ( this past winter was great )0 -

I grew up in Edwardsburg (Southwest), my husband is from Owosso (between Lansing & Flint) -- we met at college in Marquette, and now we live in Ironwood/Bessemer, which is the furthest West you can get in the Upper Peninsula.
We're kind of from all over the place :-)0
